In our own Sequential tests, we could confirm the official maximum read figure of 5,000MB/s as the drive produced a peak of 5,040.06MB/s when tested. Tested writes peaked at 4,324.05MB/s, a little shy of the official maximum of 4,400MB/s.

128KB Sequential Read v QD Performance Comparison

With all the tested PCIe Gen4 drives using the same controller and NAND combination, there is very little to choose between them when it comes to Sequential read performance.

128KB Sequential Write v QD Performance Comparison

The only time the drive drops back a little from its competitors in Sequential write test was at a QD of 32.
